<b>Description: DB_ENV-&gt;set_encrypt</b>
<p>Set the password used by the Berkeley DB library to perform encryption and
decryption.</p>
<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;set_encrypt method configures a database environment, not only operations
performed using the specified <a href="../api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> handle.</p>
<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;set_encrypt method may not be called after the <a href="../api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV-&gt;open</a> method is
called.
If the database environment already exists when
<a href="../api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV-&gt;open</a> is called, the information specified to DB_ENV-&gt;set_encrypt
must be consistent with the existing environment or an error will be
returned.
</p>
<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;set_encrypt method
returns a non-zero error value on failure
and 0 on success.
</p>
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
 <b>flags</b><ul compact><li>The <b>flags</b> parameter must be set to 0 or
the following value:
<br>
<b><a name="DB_ENCRYPT_AES">DB_ENCRYPT_AES</a></b><ul compact><li>Use the Rijndael/AES (also known as the Advanced Encryption Standard
and Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 197) algorithm for
encryption or decryption.</ul>
<br></ul>
 <b>passwd</b><ul compact><li>The <b>passwd</b> parameter is the password used to perform encryption
and decryption.</ul>
<br>
<br><b>Errors</b>
<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;set_encrypt method
may fail and return one of the following non-zero errors:</p>
<br>
<b>EINVAL</b><ul compact><li>If the method was called after
<a href="../api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV-&gt;open</a>
was called; or if an
invalid flag value or parameter was specified.</ul>
<br>
<br>
<b>EOPNOTSUPP</b><ul compact><li>Cryptography is not available in this Berkeley DB release.</ul>
<br>
<hr size=1 noshade>
<b>Description: DB_ENV-&gt;get_encrypt_flags</b>
<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;get_encrypt_flags method returns the encryption flags.</p>
<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;get_encrypt_flags method may be called at any time during the life of the
application.</p>
<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;get_encrypt_flags method
returns a non-zero error value on failure
and 0 on success.
</p>
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
 <b>flagsp</b><ul compact><li>The DB_ENV-&gt;get_encrypt_flags method returns  the
encryption flags in <b>flagsp</b>.</ul>
